    Entamoeba histolytica: Collagenolytic Activity and Virulence (1984)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: Several axenic strains of pathogenic and nonpathogenic Entamoeba histolytica were tested for their capacity to digest native radioactive type I collagen gels and to produce liver abscesses when injected into the liver of newborn hamsters. The results demonstrate that the pathogenic strains of amebas (HM1:IMSS, HM3:IMSS, HM38:IMSS, and HK9) have a collagenolytic activity that closely correlates with their in vivo capacity to produce liver lesions. The nonpathogenic isolate (Laredo) did not show collagenolytic activity and failed to produce lesions in the liver of newborn hamsters. The results also demonstrate that type I collagen obtained from rodents and cats is degraded less by amebic collagenase than is bovine collagen, which is similar to human collagen. These findings suggest that species susceptibility to invasive infection may depend, among other factors, on the characteristics of the extracellular components of host tissues.

    Notes: Uridine diphosphate galacturonate 4-epimerases (UDPGLEs) are enzymes that convert UDP-glucuronate into UDP-galacturonate. Although the presence of UDPGLEs has been reported in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, the genes coding for these enzymes are completely unknown. The galacturonic acid-containing capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 1 is synthesized through the action of a specific UDPGLE. We have constructed a defined deletion mutant in the cap1J gene (one of the 15 cap1 genes responsible for the synthesis of the type 1 capsule) that exhibited an unencapsulated phenotype. This mutant was unable to synthesize UDPGLE, suggesting that Cap1J was the type 1-specific UDPGLE of S. pneumoniae. Escherichia coli cells harbouring the recombinant plasmid pRMM38 (cap1J ) overproduced a 40 kDa protein, characterized as Cap1J on the basis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis, and expressed high levels of enzymatically active Cap1J epimerase. Cap1J was partially purified, although purification to electrophoretic homogeneity inactivated the enzyme irreversibly. The enzyme has the following characteristics: Kmfor UDP-glucuronate, 0.24 mM; pH optimum, 7.5; equilibrium constant (in the direction of UDP-galacturonate formation), 1.3; and an approximate Mr of 80 000 for the active form. The Cap1J protein exhibited a fluorescence emission spectrum similar to that of NADH. Upon inactivation with p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, the addition of NAD+ and 2-mercaptoethanol were sufficient to reactivate the enzyme. Among several compounds tested, UDP-galactose and UDP-xylose exhibited the highest inhibition of the UDPGLE activity. Inactivation of UDPGLE activity was also observed in the presence of UMP and several reducing sugars. To our knowledge, this is the first example of a thoroughly molecular characterization of a UDPGLE.

    Presence of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins in Catharanthus roseus transformed roots (1999)
    Copenhagen : Munksgaard International Publishers
    Physiologia plantarum 105 (1999), S. 0 
    Details

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Biochemical analysis revealed the presence of GTP-binding proteins (G-proteins) in Catharanthus roseus hairy root cultures. In a microsomal fraction, several proteins, with molecular masses of 17, 21, 38, 42, 65, and 79 kDa were substrates for ADP-ribosylation by cholera toxin. Antisera raised against a conserved amino-acid sequence (GTSNSGKSTIVKQMK) of mammalian Gα subunits recognized three proteins of 42, 50, and 79 kDa. Incubation of nitrocellulose blots with [α-32P]-GTP also indicated the presence of several proteins (17, 21, 50, and 79 kDa) that could bind GTP. In this system, we previously identified a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-phospholipase C (PLC, EC 3.1.4.11) activity. As the activation of PLC by G-proteins was described, we decided to see whether, in our system, G-protein activators, such as guanosine 5-o-(3-thiotriphosphate) (GTPΓS) and sodium fluoride ions, were able to regulate PLC activity in C.roseus transformed roots. Our results show that these agents regulated PLC activity in an inhibitory fashion and that this effect is dose-dependent. GTP was ineffective in producing either stimulation or inhibition of PLC activity. Our results demonstrate that non-hydrolyzable guanine nucleotides and fluoride ions exert an inhibitory effect on membrane PLC activity. In summary, a set of proteins of 17, 21, 38, 42, 50, and 79 kDa present in C.roseus transformed roots possessed at least two of the three main characteristics of a GTP-binding protein, and one of these proteins may be involved in the regulation of PLC activity in C.roseus transformed roots.

    Biosorption of copper and zinc by Cymodocea nodosa (1999)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    FEMS microbiology reviews 23 (1999), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1574-6976
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: The adsorption of the two metal ions Cu and Zn in a single-component system by Cymodocea nodosa, a brown alga, under different pH conditions was investigated. The solution pH significantly affected the exhibited uptake, being maximum at a pH value of 4.5. Multi-component mixture biosorption in aqueous solutions is also reported. A comparison was made between the single-component saturation uptake and the multi-component uptakes. To evaluate the two-metal sorption system performance, simple isotherm curves had to be replaced by three-dimensional sorption isotherm surfaces. In order to describe the isotherm surfaces mathematically, three Langmuir-type models were evaluated. The isotherms indicate a competitive uptake with Cu being preferentially adsorbed. In addition, different tests were carried out to compare the process efficiency working continuously in small columns.

    Notes: Abstract Five different interferon preparations were compared for their antiviral activity against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and several RNA viruses. The interferons used were: interferon α from human buffy coats, interferon β from human fibroblasts, interferon γ from human lymphocytes after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), lymphoblastoid interferon from Namalva cells IFN-α (Ly) and cloned α2 interferon produced by Escherichia coli containing the human gene for interferon α2. All preparations were able to protect monolayers of HeLa cells against HSV-1 infection when low multiplicities were used. The five IFN preparations were also tested against encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus, poliovirus and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV).

    Study on the interaction of diarylbutadiynes with free radicals: Interaction with propagating radicals of some vinyl monomers (1999)

    Notes: Abstract In order to study the nature of interaction of arylbutadiynes with transient free radicals, polymerization and copolymerization of some vinyl monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), styrene (ST), methacrylonitrile (MAN), vinylidene chloride (VCl2), ethyl acrylate (EA) and acrylonitrile (AN), were carried out in the presence of diphenylbutadiyne (DPB), 4,4'-butadiynylene-N,N,N',N'-tetra-n-butyl-dibenzamide (BBA), and 4,4'-dibromodiphenylbutadiyne (BPB). MMA gave an intense ESR signal at the polymerization temperature when the polymerization system became viscous, and the number of radicals increased with polymerization time. Strong signals of polyEA and polyMAN radicals were also observed in the presence of DPB when the polymerization system became almost solid. This is a unique case where active transient propagating radicals such as that of polyEA can be detected at polymerization temperature. The rates of polymerization decreased by the presence of the diacetylenes, but the molecular weights did not change with the diacetylene concentrations. UV spectroscopy revealed that there was no diacetylene unit bonded to the obtained polymers, indicating that degradative chain transfer is not the case. The monomer reactivity ratios for MMA-ST and MMA-AN systems did not vary significantly in the presence of the diacetylenes, although some difference was observed. It seems that some arylbutadiynes interact with free radicals but do not form bonds.

    Notes: Abstract. Sodium chloride thin films were synthesized by pulsed laser ablation from monocrystalline and sintered targets. The structure of the films is characterized by X-ray diffraction and their surface quality is characterized by scanning electron microscopy. From thermoluminescence spectra, two different types of defects are identified as cation vacancies and chlorine interstitials. This thermoluminescence in the UV-visible has been observed by heating the samples up to 600 K.
